first embodiment
[0030]First, description is made of a system for performing an authentication by using two codes (the number of the used codes is not limited to two) that are generated in a true (or intrinsic) random number generator or a pseudo-random number generator (hereinafter, referred to as “RPG”). The system includes a USB token, a local side (PC), an authentication management side, etc. Herein, the USB token is used as a token (code generating device), and its shape may vary from a card type to a key fob type or the like, but there is no particular limitation on the shape. The same holds true in the other embodiments described later.
[0031]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a token used in this embodiment. In this example, USB is used as an interface, but another interface may be used.
[0032]Two codes generated in a true random number generating element or a pseudo-random number generating element are read by a control section, and stored in a non-volatile memory. The control section includes a CP...
second embodiment
[0062]Next, description is made of a mail server system that can ensure a complete secrecy by using the two codes generated in the true random number generator or the pseudo-random number generator (RPG) to perform an identification authentication and an encryption / decryption of a plain text. The system includes two clients of a sender and a recipient of mail (each owning authentication USB token) and a mail server (SMTP server used for reception and POP server used for transmission).
[0063]First, in order to configure the system, it is assumed that the following preconditions are set.
[0064](1) With regard to (two, herein) the two clients (clients A and B), two codes RPGA1 (initial common key) and RPGA2 (initial ID) and two codes RPGB1 (initial common key) and RPGB2 (initial ID), respectively, are registered on a mail server side in advance. Obviously, mail addresses of the clients A and B are also registered thereon.
[0065](2) Installed on the mail server are a plain text encryption / ...
third embodiment
[0100]Next, description is made of an embodiment of a case of applying the authentication using the two codes generated in the true random number generator or the pseudo-random number generator (RPG) to a system for distributing a streaming video via a network such as a CATV or the Internet.
[0101]FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an outline of a video distribution system to which authentication means according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied. The system shown in FIG. 4 includes a user-side terminal (set-top box of CATV or streaming reception apparatus (PC)), a video streaming server (hereinafter, referred to as “server”), and an authentication manager. An authentication management function of the authentication manager can be installed on the server. In a case of CATV, the server corresponds to a broadcast station of the cable TV.
[0102]An authentication process in the system is as follows.
[0103](1) Logon is made to the server from the user side.
[0104]For e...
